Chair King? I was really hoping for a Sofa King. Because their prices are “Sofa King” low!
In regards to that photo of Memorial City – does anyone else think they went just a bit over the top with the Christmas lights on Gessner? I turned south off the I-10 ramp last night, and almost wrecked my car. It was like driving straight into a galaxy.
